It's Almost Always Lint, Detergent And Hair

Washing machine waste lines block from a build-up of fabric lint, detergent residue and hair, usually at the trap or where the standpipe meets the main waste run. The pump itself is rarely the problem — but plenty of plumbers will quote you for a new pump first.

We diagnose the actual cause, clear it properly, and test a full cycle before we leave. Most jobs are done in under an hour for a fixed price.

Why Your Washing Machine Drain Has Blocked

Lint & Fabric Build-Up

Years of fabric fluff coating the inside of the waste pipe.

Detergent Residue

Thick scaly build-up where powder doesn't dissolve fully.

Failed Trap Or Standpipe

Cracked, leaking or blocked solid.

Shared Waste Issue

Connected to kitchen sink waste — blockage there blocks everything.
